PHOENIX (AP) - A man who’s a registered sex offender has been arrested in connection with the death of a woman in Phoenix last week, according to police.

They said 29-year-old Humphry Dogbe has been booked into jail on suspicion of first-degree murder, sexual assault and kidnapping.

He’s being held on a $1 million bond with a preliminary hearing scheduled for May 18.

It was unclear Monday if Dogbe has a lawyer yet.

Police said officers were called in the early morning hours last Friday after a woman was found on the pavement of a commercial fueling station with her clothes partially removed.

She was pronounced dead at the scene. Her name hasn’t been released.

Witnesses told police they saw a man dragging a woman through the parking lot and that she may have been choked and sexually assaulted.

Police said some of the incident was captured on surveillance video and that led to Dogbe’s arrest at his Phoenix home.
